Seven fragments, seven stories, tell the short life of the protagonist in flashbacks.
In the first episode, the party, he had an abnormal demeanor, committed suicide on the station track, and collided with the rushing train. At first glance, it is disgust and contempt for him for unknown reasons. I know he is desperate, but I can't recognize this kind of heart-piercing and despairing despair. Emotions migrated with the film, and I felt a little more sympathy for him. Three days before his suicide, his life of failure came to the fore, his wife and children left him, his partners made trouble, and his friends cheated money. He lives in the poor house, trying to kill a person who ruined his life to accompany him, but he misses and finally turns the gun on himself. Perhaps, at that moment, he repented and he was the culprit. In the third paragraph, he has a prosperous career, a bad marriage, he has an extramarital affair, and his wife also has a lover. Fighting against his cheating wife, violent and barbaric, and sheer hegemony, is disgusting. Going backwards, he is still a policeman, and he treats prisoners ruthlessly and ignores his pregnant wife. He is not only bored, but hateful. The picture retreats again, and his life continues to unfold in reverse. It is a pity for him to be a policeman for the first time. His indifference and violence are not born with him. He can't bear to look directly at him because his colleagues beat the prisoner, which is somewhat cowardly. He rejected his first love girlfriend and chose a road of no return. Going back to his time as a soldier, he was clumsy and timid, and was often beaten and scolded, but he killed a female student by mistake, and finally bore a heavy spiritual cross. All the emotions he had for him melted at this moment, and his life was overshadowed here.
The only beautiful and gentle scene in the whole film. At that time, he still had dreams and longing for the future, and the little flowers around him could make him feel pity. However, twenty years later, he died in the same place. He was haunted by the past, the kindness and purity he had lost, the soft parts of his heart had been cruelly abandoned. He wants to go back to the past, he wants to be who he wants to be, but everything has been washed away by the torrent of time, he is just a small person who was sacrificed in the big environment, he is mocked by the times he lives in, and he is powerless Confrontation, since that night of manslaughter, he has begun to give up on himself.
